Somehow, Bret's words (So I think I had that right, but we don’t know, because we didn’t do that.”) remind me of the trope "Communism works, it just hasn't been tried the right way". Seems to me that a 'truly effective lockdown' would require a plastic air bubble (remember the ones placed around hospitalized children with no immune system?) erected around each house/apartment building. No one would leave his door under penalty of death. Which of course would require cops being out and around to check. No going to the grocery store. Leading, for most people, pretty quickly to death from starvation.

“…cops being out and around…” uh, doesn’t that eliminate any possible quarantine effects, since that is a hole in any quarantine?

That was indeed my point.

The whole "truly effective lockdown" is an insane idea. Who is going to run the power plants? The water treatment plants? The grocery stores? The hospitals?

The fact that he came out with that statement really makes me disregard his supposed "inteliigence."
